Bird feeders

 I have been enjoying the birdies. This was Sunday. A downy woodpecker.



The Dratted Red Squirrel (a fave of the cats) has been chomping down.

The morning dove likes the arrangement.

The tripod really helps. The afternoon sun makes photos tricky. Not to mention the wind blowing the wind sock. (It does seem to help prevent bird strikes.) 


Much better shots with the camera on a tripod.

The squirrel managed to get up there. I think it flings itself from the tree, or from the bird bath. 


I put out the Wingscape camera. The trick is you have to preset the focus on it. I set it for 4'. 



I reset the camera, and managed some close shots.

After our walk, Cinnamon helped himself to a drink. I realized the winter bird bath needed cleaning.
